happens at SummerSlam. I’m shaving my mustache off. I told you if that happens, it’s going. My lip is cold because of a stupid bet that I made to YouTube. Wrestle’s better than Daniel Bryan. Brian Daniels better than Okada. [Music] Good evening from Swansea. Wrestling fans. I’m your host Ben Allison and you are watching Wrestling Republic’s daily broadcast. We have that new intro which we debuted the other day. Hope you guys are enjoying that one. But today, what we have for you guys to enjoy is the semifinals of the king and the queen, the king and the queen of the quiz tournament. We of course have to my left Mr. Kobe Gallenoski and to my right, Drizzy. Firstly, Kobe, how are you feeling today? Thing is, I’m feeling pretty good. Of course, I’m well rested. I of course I’m well dressed. I got my good a good collar shirt on. I’m here and I’m ready to enjoy a good quiz. And the biggest thing is is there’s less confidence this time because Drizzy is a heck of a competitor. I know he has a wealth of knowledge and I hope there’s more opportunities for me to steal than he is for than he has for me. But of course, if I’m trying to think think about this in a weird way, I do think it’s going to be highly competitive. It’s going to be close. I hope it’s not as close because I don’t want to lose. I don’t want to be barely beaten. I if I get I want to win. And of course, the biggest thing is is this is all a road to the finals to face David. And I hope that Drizzy, you’re only just a detour for me. Oh, fighting words out of the gate from Kobe. I mean, we know Kobe and David have been confident all along that the final is going to be Kobe and David, but honestly, I do think today we could well see an upset because my pick to the to win the entire tournament is here and that is Drizzy. How are you, Drizzy? In honor of my good folks at NXT, the metaphor. Hello. Hello. Hello. I am here and I am ready to do some damage. I am looking forward to trying to get to David. I David is the goal. I want David. Bring me the boy. Honestly, I I reckon if it comes down to you and David, I I really do think you are going to win this. Uh because just the the contrast in knowledge, I reckon you will have the advantage. But we will find out today what it is. Right. So, we’ll quickly get the scores done in a second. But before we do, let me read out some of the comments. We have David M. shout out to you. We got Fernando. We have DCX who says, “Drizzy win it for metaphor.” And if Kobe wins, then it is rigged. DCX Warlord is asking, “Is Clark the voice of the gods?” He is not. He’s got a welldeserved day off today. So, I’m doing all the rolls uh when it comes to the moderation, but David has fact checked the questions. Don’t worry, we are all good on that front. We have Bobby Matito in the comments as well. Right, without further ado, let’s get into the comments. Not the comments, into the rules. Right, if you’ve not seen this before, it is 15 rounds, one question each round for each competitor. If one person gets it wrong, it will then go to the other person. So the person can basically steal their question. But what makes this really different and really exciting is there is one double chip, one two times chip to use and they can do it for any any round which they want to do. So basically they for any round they can say okay I want double points on this. If they get it right, double points. If they get it wrong, their opponent has the opportunity to steal it for double points. But on top of that, there are a few bonus rounds. And if you really want to risk it, you can use your double chip on a double bonus round and therefore potentially get four points instead of two. Higher risk, but a much higher reward as well. But without further ado, let’s get into the topics. It is the same as usual. Pre97 WWE Attitude Evra three bonus rounds Ruthless Aggression 2010 to 2020 WWE the Triple H AEW WCW ECW Japanese Wrestling NXT Lucha Libre and Finisher names. This is going to be fun. No doubt about it. Right. One difference compared to the last time both of you guys played. Now I am not going to ask every single round. if you want to use your chip because viewers found that a bit annoying. So, you have to make it clear to me on a normal round ahead of time before I turn the slide if you want to play it on a normal round. Before a bonus round, I’ll still ask and check, right? But I’ll only now ask and check before the bonus rounds because let’s face it, pretty much people are only using it for the bonus rounds anyway. Right, without further uh ado, let’s get into it. Right. Okay, coin toss time. Kobe, you were here first. So, what do you want to pick? Heads or tails? I’m trying to figure out what I forget what I won with last time, but I’m going to continue with the roll. I’m going tails. Okay, let’s do it. Oh, let me do this again. It is heads. Drizzy, do you want to go first or second? Second. Oh, okay. We haven’t seen much success from that so far in this tournament when people have chosen to go second. But hey, maybe Drizzy is going to upset the odds and change that streak. Kobe, you are up first. And your first question is, let me make sure I have it up on my end as well. Is need it up. What celebrity was in Diesel’s corner for his WWE Championship match at Wrestlemania 11 against HBK? Okay, Wrestlemania 11 HBK. I’m trying to think and I have one and I think I don’t know how accurate it is because I think he might have been sooner. The only name that is directly coming to mind is Alice Cooper. Final answer. Final answer is Alice Cooper. Drizzy to Steel. Camel Anderson. Correct. There we are. One steel out of the gates. Drizzy takes the lead. But Drizzy, your question is, who did Owen Hart team with to take on the Smoking Guns at Wrestlemania 11? Vader. He was a part of Ket. I’m gonna say Vader. Kobe to Steel. Wrestlemania 11 is a tough one. Is a tough one. Uh, you’re distracting me, Jersey. You’re distracting me. Um, the thing is is trying to think back there and I’m trying to think who has teamed with Owen Hart and I don’t know why I keep thinking Jeff Jarrett and I because I don’t think it is Jeff Jarrett but that’s the only name that’s coming to my mind at this point. I think my So yeah, my only guess is Jeff Jarrett. Incorrect. The correct answer is Yokozuna. It hit me. It hit me as soon as you sitting over. Not at all. Guess I could I guess I could have thought bigger guys and maybe I would have got Yoko. Yeah. Next up, well, DCX Warlord got it. Uh, David knew it as well. David’s making fun of you guys for not knowing it. Fighting talk already. He’s hyping up the final. Up next, we got the Attitude Era and Kobe who won the 2001 King of the Ring. Okay, 2001. That was not Brock Lesnar yet because Brock was brought in. Oh, wait. Was that Brock Lesnar? Oh, this is going to be If it’s not Oh, this is tough because it’s either going to be Brock Lesnar or it’s not going to be Brock Lesnar. Trying to think. Ah. Oh crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Um, I’m going to need an answer. Yeah, the only name that’s coming to mind that time is Brock Lesnar. But I Oh, wait. Oh, wait. King of the I need an answer now. Yeah, Brock Brock Lesnar is the only name I got. to steal Kurt Angle. Incorrect. The correct answer was Edge. Oh yeah, cuz isn’t isn’t 2000 cuz 2001’s the one with Shane and Kurt in that bloody match, right? I could not tell you that. That’s the That’s the match I remember. I just know nothing. I remember that match. I can’t tell you what year. It’s around then for sure. It’s one of those. Yeah, it’s one of the early 2000s cuz that was the one angle trying to go back to back. Yeah, it was David says and DCX gets Kurt Angle as well. Fernando guess Billy Gun Bobby guess Triple H. But up next, the question for you Drizzy is who won the 2002 Royal Rumble? Brock Kobe the Steel. We’re making a little bit of flubs early on. Um, so Wrestlemania 18, I’ll I’ll start off with that because it’s 2002. I’m 18. What was the matches? I don’t I don’t think Hogan and Rock was 18 because I forget specific manas. So I don’t and do you think 01 was the rock? So a was it was it Triple H? Final answer. That’s all I got. Yeah, you are correct, Kobe. And you are back level. Triple H did indeed win that. Fernando guess Batista. Right, a couple of hard ones out of the gates. But now guys, it is time for, if I’m correct, a bonus round. Anyone want to risk it and cash in? No, I’m not risking for the biscuit yet. Oh, Kobe. Nope. Okay, let’s find out. I need I need some control in this quiz and I that chip gives me some control. So, okay. Fair enough. Just yet. The bonus round is 2010 bound for glory. Kobe, who defeated Kurt Angle and Mr. Anderson for the TNA Championship in the main event. So this is when there was a big heel turn. This was Jeff Hardy. You are correct. Be correct. It is the antichrist professional. That’s three points. It is. Yeah. Yeah. It was the antichrist. It was the It was the big Eric Bishoff. Get the guitar and Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We don’t like talking about those. Great show. No doubt about it. Right. Drizzy. What was the name of the faction that included Raven, Rhino, Sabu, and Tommy Dreamer that defeated Fortune at the event? Oh, what were they called? It was something It was something extreme. Oh, Jesus. What was it? Oh, that’s a tough one. It is the extremist. Kobe to Steel. Okay. So, Fortune’s mains main rivals were immortal, but that’s not none of those guys were in a mortal. No, that was this and that’s the tough part is trying to think of who else was in a kind of a rival faction or a rival group fortune. I’m trying to think of it and I’m looking back and oh nothing nothing’s coming up. That’s the tough part. This to steal. Yeah. I never Oh, Jersey is distracting me again. Yeah, right now it’s So he said extremists and that’s I’m going to need a name. It’s like the time it’s on the tip of my tongue but it’s not at the same time. Three, two, I got I got nothing. Can I say it? Can I say? Yeah, say it. Jersey EV 2.0. Correct. That would have been the perfect answer, but it did not happen. Right, up next we have the ruthless aggression era Kobe. Your question is, who defeated the great Ki to win the world championship at SummerSlam 2007? Okay, I’ I’d be mad if it’s not Batista because that’s the only person I can think of it because I think I’m pretty sure Batista beat him. So, Batista, correct? Batista did get the win. I always forget about this match completely. I I really The thing is is I remember I’ve seen the Punjabi prison between them. I’ve seen that before. But I knew like I’ve the only person like because I know Collie wins it off of a battle royal and then it’s like I don’t like the only person I can remember him feuding with kind of in that like reign of oh he’s a he’s a serious mainventor was Batista. So I’m glad it was. David Sheldon says it was one of the worst matches in SummerSlam history. a big statement, but honestly, yeah, it is a problem. I do agree with you on that. I do try and just forget about the great Carly push to be completely honest with you. Right, Frizzy up next. Who did Batista retain the World Championship against at Survivor Series 2007? The Russian is my worst error. Um um there’s one that stands out to me, but I’m not sure it was 2007. I’m going to go with it just because I can’t think of any Survivor Series at that point in time, but I want to say it was a Fatal four-way. You know what? I take that back. going to need a final answer. I’m going to say he five. Uh, Booker T. Incorrect. Kobe the Steel. It’s tough to think about this because I want like 07 like I want to say is like Cena and Edge on the other brand. I don’t think but he I don’t think Triple H had him at that time. I don’t think it’s Shawn Michaels. I don’t going to need an answer. I know you’re going to need an answer. I’m trying to think. I’m trying to think. Five. Is it Undertaker? Three. Final answer. Undertaker. Correct. The Hell in a Cell match between the two. absolute value series or match of a match. Yeah, it was uh really really great indeed. Right, up next we got 2010 to 20 WWE and the question for you Kobe is who did Roman Reign beat to win the WWE Championship at Survivor Series 2015? Do you want his current name or is No, it’s Dean Ambrose. It’s Dean Ambrose or John M. Go big tournament. Seth Seth Rollins had to relinquish it. They did a tournament to Survivor Series. Roman and Dean, I think that’s their only singles match. One of their only. It might be actually. I think so. It’s I think it’s their only pay-per-view one. Maybe one of their It’s definitely their only pay-per-view one. But yeah, no, it was a good enough match. I think a lot of people wanted Dean to win it anyway. Like the crowd was behind. They did. They they Yeah. Did it though? the year well less than a year later at Money in the Bank 2016 though uh after of course when all the Shield members held it. That was a great great moment. Drizzy, your question is what two wrestlers teamed with the New Day at Survivor Series 2015 in the traditional 5v5 Survivor Series match? 2050. Oh, okay. Oh, I have a guess in a traditional match. Yeah. Nine, five, four. He was on the roster at that time. Need a final answer. Give [Music] me Tyson Kid and Cesaro. Hell of a guess, but unfortunately incorrect, but a really, really great guess. Kobe, what is your uh You going to have an opportunity to steal now? Uh, yeah, I should hope so. Umh the t the so the the guess that comes to mind is the ascension. I don’t think they were up on the main roster at the time yet. And that’s the tough part because I want to at the time the new day are the heal because they were they’ve interacted with the authority with Seth being the people not the people’s champion the authority champion with J&J security and all that. So they were heal. No they’re not. We’re not doing the people’s champion. They’re heels. So, I’m trying to think back to heels at the time. This is after 30 Wrestlemania 31. I want to say it’s Wait, hold on. 32. Okay, I need an answer. Is it R is it R seven? Wade Barrett. If I could give you half a point, I would, but I can’t, so I won’t. Uh, it is uh King Barrett and Sheamus. League of N League of Nations came to mind. I just didn’t know which ones. Yeah. Uh, David Marge guesses the Wyatt family. DCX guessed correctly. Uh, and so did Bobby Patito as well. John suggested awesome truth and DCX warlord said the social outcast. Oh, the social outcast. That’s a memory that that No way. Just from remembering it and you get points. Right. Up next, we are talking the triple H error. Let’s do this. Kobe, your question is, who was the special guest referee for The Miz versus LA United at Payback 2023? our our current our current champion John Cena. You would be correct and you are up to seven points. Now Drizzy, your question is who did Seth Rollins retain the world championship against at Payback 2023? Payback 2023. Kobe I think knows it. I’m sure he does. [Music] Going to need an answer. Incorrect, Kobe. Shinsuke and Namura. You are correct. Or as Dex warlord accidentally spelled this, shame us. Uh later clarifying me Shinsuke. But okay, shame same. What is it? Not preslina for the last one. And there’s an an like a John Cena emoji. That’s cool. Uh David Mard guess AJ Styles and so did Shard. Not quite true, but uh Fernando guessed Damen Priest. Another good guess as well. But up next, let’s Priest was in a tag match one show that show too. Priest, it was Priest and Balor versus uh Kevin and Sammy in one of the better street fights. Was great. That Pittsburgh street fight. Yeah. I thought that was 2024. No, 20 No, that was that was 2023. They were split up into Yeah. No, they were that was a pit it was like a Pittsburgh street fight. We saw like a hockey thing and like it was a really good Steel Came and then there was the Steel Cage match with Becky and Trish. No, Payback was a really good show. No, it was a really good show. Right. Up next, let’s talk some All Elite Wrestling. Kobe, your question is, who did Kenny Omega retain the AEW championship against on the debut episode of AEW Rampage? Wait, is this correct? Is I hope so. cuz he wrestled Christian on one of the first rampages, but Christian beat him for the World Impact World title on a [Music] rampage. Fact check this. Fact check this. Cuz this is the the one of the first rampages was Christian Cage. Well, that’s embarrassing. And it’s always the AEW questions because that’s what happened when we originally brought this whole thing out. AEW, this is Christian Cage versus Kenny Omega for the Impact Championship because Christian Cage wins because Kenny Omega retains the AW Championship against by beating Christian. Well, it was a trick question, Kobe. You’re right. Well done. Um, but garbage. Uh, I mean even still it’s the same answer either way. The answer’s Christian either way anyway. But you are also correct. This is Gar. I didn’t change the answer at least. But yeah, uh, it is correct, right? Christian. Uh, David Marge, guess MJF. Your f your favorite father figure would be disappointed in you, Ben. Allison. Oh, he would be. He He’d be very disappointed. But I just like to think that he was the AW champion. Alex guesses. Uh Cody RH says David Marge. That might be it from the previous one. Right. Uh he retained it because it wasn’t on the line. Exactly Clark. Thank you. Trick question Kobe. Uh meanwhile, David’s turned face and he’s apologizing. Um but it’s all good. Up next, Drizzy. Your AEW question is who defeated Red Veil but to retain the AEW women’s championship on the debut episode of Rampage in the main event. Actually, who was women’s champion at that point in time? It was Jesus Christ. Who was champion at that point in time? It wasn’t Brit. It definitely wasn’t Brit. I don’t think it was Brit. Brit Baker. We’ll go with Brit Baker. I don’t think it was, but we’ll go Brit Baker. Well, you would be correct, Rzzy. I I thought for a second you weren’t going to say it, but yeah, it was Britt Baker at that time. I I wanted him not to say it. I wanted That’s the one. The comeback is on. That’s when Jamie hat her returns to where she did the back. Yeah. The back also Jamie hater helps her Jamie hat her debuts and returns or returns to AW to help her and with the new kind of look and yeah it was Brit. It was Brit. Right. Up next, the next round is WCW World Championship Wrestling and it is who did Hollywood Hogan defeat at Halloween Havoc 98? Kobe. Oh, Twizzy knows this one. How the turntables I think he’s Yeah, it helps when you’re Yeah. No, there’s Oh, god. 98. Hogan. Hogan. Hogan. Hogan. Hogan. I trying to think back and I I don’t know if I’ve seen Halloween Havoc 98. Like I know of it of course, but uh the only person that the only name that comes to mind because I don’t think I know anyone else that could have been a Hogan opponent is is Sting. That’s all I can think of at this point. Grizzy to Steel Warrior. That is correct. Suddenly the camera talk about worst matches. the worst match. That was actually originally going to be in the question. It was going to originally be in what is considered the worst match of all time by many. Uh but I thought that made it a bit too easy. Up next, Rizzy, your question is, who did DDP lose to in the main event of Halloween Havoc 1998? Goldberg. Correct. Suddenly it’s a lot closer. I mean, listen, this is how quickly that things can change in this quiz. We saw it last week as well. Clark says Hogan Warrior was horrifying. Uh, and David Marge predicted match, not predicted, guest, uh, macho man. Clark sneaking away from his family to watch this quiz. We respect the dedication to it because suddenly it is getting very very close. Kobe, your next question for ECW is who was the first ECW champion? And just to make it clear as well, this is the start of the championship as the whole way back. This is the start. Oh jeez. So we’re talking Easter. Yeah. Yeah, we are talking Eastern. Yeah. [ __ ] Okay. That’s a good one. That’s a good Of course, the ECW one has to be the one Ben stacks against us. Um David was thrilled when he saw this question because he said it’s uh it’s one of the ones he researched thinking it was going to be last week. I got nothing. I guess an out there. No, you’re you’re getting a pass if I’m if I’m the first question. Okay, I ain’t giving anyone an answer. Okay, fair enough. I like the tactic grizzy to steal. If he if he can steal this, he deserves it. I wasn’t watching Eastern Championship. I’m gonna go Shane Douglas just to throw a name out there, but I’m pretty sure that’s the when the Extreme took over. But yeah, that’s when Extreme took over. Clark guessed the same thing, but no, that is not Eastun. David Mods did the same one, but DCX did get it correct. It is Jimmy Snooker. Jimmy Snooker. No, not at all. Wouldn’t have wouldn’t have known. Holds it for one day and then loses it. Um, but Clark was very confident and got it wrong. Uh, up next, uh, thing I would have known Shane Douglas if it we to be fair, the graphic should have specified. And this is on you. Well, no, no, no. Who was the first ECW champion? I I gave you the clarification anyway. You did, but actually, who is the first ECW champion? It is Jimmy Snooker. That is the correct answer to it. Uh, Clark says it’s Eastern. Well, no, it doesn’t say Extreme. It says who is the first ECW champion? And Extreme Championship Wrestling was a name change after Eastern Championship Wrestling, right? It’s just like we asked I didn’t ask yourself. It was It was worded completely correctly. But up next, Rizzy, your question is who had the most reigns as ECW champion? Now, this is combining it all, right? But yeah, all together like we’re adding ECW, ECW into that, too. No. Uh uh I do think that might actually be technically counted. Yeah. I don’t know. If you give me a second, sorry, Drizzy, I want to clarify this for you real quick. Okay. Uh I I want to actually get an answer on that. It does include Yes, it includes all of the ECWs, including W ECW. I’m going go see it, man. And you would be correct. That is the right answer. Uh Fernando says Raven is the answer. A DCX Warlord got it right. Again, these were a fact checked, but uh No, I’m very confident. I think he had the longest ring, but I don’t think he has the most. Yeah. Yeah, that that is correct. That is correct. He did have the longest, but the Sandman is correct. There we are. Clark says that was the NWA title. No, it wasn’t. That was the Eastern Wrestling. That was the title which got later renamed the Extreme. It’s the exact same title. It was just renamed later on. It is factual. It is correct. That’s the That’s the That’s the belt he threw down the NW belt. The night the line was crossed and that’s what Noah bump that title. I want this title. Exactly. But it was took on the same lineage. It was just a new design. Uh but David Sheldon says, “I can promise it was it was Sandman. He has five.” And it was Sandman. Right. Suddenly things are very very close indeed. So let’s head over to Japan. Kobe, your question is, who defeated Taio Kia for the IWGP World Championship at the first Wrestle Kingdom? Wrestle Kingdom. I don’t first Wrestle Kingdom. I wasn’t even bored for that. Oh god. I mean, I All it is is guesswork at this point and I got to think about it because was this year 19? So it would be 06. I don’t think it’s Kurt Angle. I don’t my my only the only two names that I can think of that are speaking out to me are Hiroshi Tanahashi, our our favorite president of of the company. Um, and the other but and I don’t know why Kurt Angle standing out cuz I don’t think it’s Kurt Angle. H, when did Kurt win it? When did Kurt win it? Ah, going to need your answer. Five. Kurt Angle. My final answer is Curt Angle. Quiz to steal. Brock Lesnar. Kobe gave it to you on a civil platter. It was Hiroshi Tanahashi. Tanahashi. Oh, was it? Yeah, it was Tanahashi. Okay. Yeah. No, I should I should to be fair, I should have went should have went with the president. I’m sorry for doubting you, Mr. Tanahashi. Mr. Ace champion Tanahashi. Yeah. No. Okay. That’s No. Okay. At least it didn’t work. It didn’t it didn’t screw me. That’s all that matters. Right. Drizzy, up next, your question. And this one was the one which there was a little controversy about behind the scenes here. What was the name of the tag team uh which is Hiroshi Tenzen and Satoshi Kojima? We will accept either one of the answers which they go by two different names in different environments. We’ll accept either. You definitely don’t have to worry about that because I didn’t even know this was a team. Uh We’re gonna [Music] go cozy bun. I don’t know. Go beat the steel. I do know this and cuz I know especially Kajjima likes just a lot of kind of funny names cuz like es the current one now is he was cozy max with um uh Okamura but no this is 10 10 cozy. Correct. And that’s also what I said that David basically for some reason at some point they have gone by 10 koji and cage match lists them as ten cooji not ten kozi but ten koi uh is the correct answer. Either one would have been accepted. DCx warlord got that one right as well. And it takes Kobe now up to 10 points as well. double digits, but still a lot to play for. Now, close too close for my liking right now. Up next is a topic you’re very very familiar with. NXT Kobe, we’re using and we’re using the chip for that. Oh, okay. Drizzy is playing his chip. Okay, this is interesting indeed. Is activated. Let’s have some fun. Let’s do it at the same time. Wow. Okay. Let’s have some fun. I I like my I like my NXT. I’m good. I’m gold. I’m good. I Let’s Let’s have some fun. Let’s have some fun. Wow. I didn’t think this was going to happen, but there we are. Both their chips are active for NXT. First time both players have activated their chips for not a bonus round, but let’s do this. Double points are on the line. Kobe Gallowski, you’re up first. Who did Braun Breaker retain the NXT Championship against at Vengeance Day 2023 in a steel cage? I’m bobbing my head like Waller. Grayson Waller, a Town Down Under. This is I It’s a It’s a fun cage match. It’s It’s fun. It’s fun. It’s Grayson Waller. That is correct. That’s why they call him Double Down Mr. G. Clark says there Archie got that right as well. DCX Warlord said you needed to play a chip jersey. Well, you are now playing it. Your question. The main event of Halloween Havoc 2022 was Brumreaker versus Ilia Dragunov versus who? Who? Who? Who? Carmelo Hayes. Final answer. Second guess it. Is that your answer? No. Oh, okay. Uh, you’re making me second guess it. You know what? No regrets. Hayes. All righty. Kobe to steal for double points. Jordan Jordan Davlin and JD McNog. That would be correct. Kobe is now up to 14 points. The NXT round costing Drizzy breaks my heart. But suddenly, Drizzy, you have an opportunity to get right back into it. We’ve got another bonus round. Nobody can cash in any. So, they’re all gone. Let me fix your names on the screen. Uh, but Mark Mi says you can’t give Kobe G the steel. Yeah. Well, you would. Uh, David Mard says, “Whoa.” And yeah, up next we have got a bonus round for the cruiserweight champions. Kobe, who had the longest reign with the modern cruiserweight championships. That’s after 2016 or 2016 or after, sorry. So, isn’t is it not Jordan Develin? final answer because Jordan Devlin won it and then co happened and he was stuck across the world and then they had to do like an interim thing and then they like it technically Jordan Delwin held it for I want to say like 15 months. Final answer. Yeah, I think it’s Jordan I think it’s Jordan Develin. You would be correct on that one too Kobe. Two Jordan Delin answers back to back up next. Grizzy ignoring Carmelo Hayes because that one it was that he won it then it was deactivated all that. Ignoring Carmelo Hayes who had the shortest reign with the modern cruiserweight championship. ignoring Haze. That might be I think that might I want to say I say the point of Austin Aries, but I’m go right with it. It may be wrong. I’m gonna say Aries. Austin Aries is incorrect. Kobe to steal. I thought they had a man for Mike. I think it’s a Kira Tazawa. Final answer. It’s the only name I’ve got I’ve got. So I think it’s a Kira Tazawa. Well, you’d be correct. Up to 18 points, Kobe. Uh I mean, let me I want to get this up. I’m trying to find out what the points record is because that is now what you’re chasing. Uh points record was set by you 26. I don’t think you’re getting that. I totally forgot it. I think I’d have to get every sing I’d have to get every single question right. I think cuz two two cuz two points in round 13. Two points. So that’d be Yeah, I’d have to get every single question right including Well, let’s see if you can do that. Or Drizzy kind of the comeback of the century. Archie says Ben is very good at building suspense. All right, Kobe, I’m trying to build suspense as Archie saying. All right. Right. No, in all seriousness, this could end a lot closer, right? Especially with points going the other way and stuff like that. Up next, we have got Lucha Libre and Kobe. Your question is who was the final Lucha Underground champion? That is a funny. So what what name do you want? I mean it’s Jack Swagger. Jake Strong. I think it was Jake Strong. Jake. It was the weirdest. Either either would have been the funniest thing about Lucha Underground. It the final scene of Lucha Underground is Stu well Stu Bennett and Wade Barrett going I got some bad news or something like that. And it’s it’s the weirdest ending, but yeah, Jake’s strong cuz he cashes in the gift of the gods on Penta after Penta beats Marty the moth in a bloody bloody match, which another strange character. T6 Warlord says, “Is Santos, not Jordan?” No, Jordan held it for 500 days, I believe it was, or something. Jordan wanted at Worlds Collide, which was Janu early end of January 2020, and then happened. So, if we’re counting him still being champion, they lost it, which they officially, which they did. He lost it in April of 2021 and they merged it with uh with merged it at No, Leo lost it to Santos. Carmelo Carmelo wanted to mer Carmelo merged it with the North American. No, I’m talking about when was able to come back overseas. Oh, it was no it was with Santos’s cruiserweight championship. So which belt and even then Santos didn’t even held it hold it for a year. Which which Santos won it like in the rush win. I remember he won a tournament wearing that belt. No, Cas Santos won that one. Won that tournament. He was in the tournament for sure. Leo was in the tournament. I don’t think the tournament. I remember that much. I don’t know why. I’m thinking Leo won in because it was a ladder match between Santos and JD. I know that Leo was definitely in that scene. But let’s uh let’s do DCX Warlords in denial. Oh, I know what’s happening here. DCX Warlord is trying to screw Kobe because they are on team Drizzy. I see it now. Oh, but up next, let’s go to the next question. Drizzy, how many seasons of Lucha Underground were there? Four. Correct. Uh, you’re now up to six points. And the next round is finisher names. This is actually a f this round was the one round I didn’t like. It has become a bit of a viewer’s favorite. A lot of people are loving this round. Simple. It’s an easy one. It’s an easy one. It’s an easy one before the final round. Of course. Yeah, I told you you had to keep it then. What is the name of Kof Kobe? What is the name of Kofi Kingston’s jumping cork through roundhouse kick? I believe there’s some trouble in paradise. You got to do the You got to do the uh the joke. It looks like there’s trouble in paradise. Boom. Yeah, trouble in paradise. SOS is the rollup, Ben. If you’ve really got this as SOS, SOS is like the rollup. Trouble in paradise is if you want to give him a wrong answer, I’ll definitely take I am gonna slap you. I’ll definitely take David, you’re going to get slapped if I ever see. Don’t do it. It’s Yeah, it’s mess. Yeah, sorry. That is the answer. I thought that was the answer when you said it to me. Clear. I just realized uh the Why do you have it? Anyway, it doesn’t matter. You’re correct. But that’s a hell of a mistake from my end cuz I even knew that and I wrote it. By the way, you don’t really Oh my god. The worst part is the thing which I’ve copy and pasted it from, right? Lit the where I copied the jumping corks roundhouse kick. It’s listed as trouble in paradise there. Like it just my brain clearly. Absolutely hilarious. Kobe was about to get a wrong answer for a right. No, you would. No, no, no, no, no. On that one, he wouldn’t have because I knew it was Trouble in Paradise. I just wrote it down right now. Double guessed myself. There’s no way. Me and David had a me when it came to these questions. Um, but KFC is the better quiz master. But, uh, Fernando’s enjoying it. I I I I Hey, I’d still win your quiz master anyways. They’re chaos, so I’d still win your quizzes. Doesn’t matter how rigged how rigged. Fact checking. Soul and uh Soul and perhaps the loser of this game here. So, both of the the losers from the semi-finals will be factecking for the final uh ahead of time just so uh Oh, yeah. I guess I can dual fact check. Uh, but now honestly I I mean Kobe fact checks most weeks when he’s not involved. You can see when I’m writing these questions. I It’s a lot to write at once, right? And my head I just write absolute nonsense down sometimes. Anyway, Kobe got that right. Drizzy, your your question is, what is the name of Biggie’s over the shoulder cutter? And this one is definitely right. The big ending. Pardon? He said big ending. Okay, perfect. That is correct. So you might You’re not about to sit there and get me with that one. No, I know. No, you’re correct. You’re correct. Uh D6 says, “Bobby definitely knew the questions are full. I on a different document on my personal Gmail account. Kobe has no access to it at all. Don’t worry.” Uh otherwise my score would be 30 plus. Like you know that like if I if I know them, I’m I’m destroying it. I I’m merking people harder than Yeah. No. But up next, we have the final bonus round. There’s no chips to use. Kobe Roman Reigns is undisputed reign. Who did Reigns defeat or retain the title against in a hell in a cell match on Smackdown? Mr. Booyaka Booyaka 619 Rey Mysterio. Who’s that guy? Rey Mysterio. Yeah, it’s crazy. That was a weird thing. There were three, what was it? Three shows in a row where there were Hell in a Cell matches because then there was one on Raw also. I think it was it was one on Smackdown, one on the pay-per-view, then one on Raw. Like, it’s just they just had the hell they had the sale ready. They had the sale made in the Thunderdome. Yeah. Yeah. They didn’t have Bobby and Xavier have one or something, too. Was Bobby and Xavier on? Yeah, Bobby had two back to back cuz he also did the Drew. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. All right. I love tangents. You know this. But up next, the final question for you, Drizzy. Who did Roman Reigns return uh retain? Sorry, that’s not even the notes. It’s right in the notes. Who did Roman Reigns retain against at Wrestlemania Backlash 2021? Uh, if I get this wrong, does he get a record? No, I don’t. All right, but I do get I do know it. I’ll tell you that. Go. I think it’s I don’t get the record. I think it’s Cesaro. I know it wasn’t a It wasn’t a It wasn’t a big name. I won’t say it Cesaro. No, you are correct. And you finish on nine points. Strezy, there we are. The total for today. Let me get the graphic made real quick to make it official. But a really fun quiz once again. Uh and I mean this so far now has been a really really exciting tournament and now we have the final set. Two weeks time today we have David against Kobe. It is set. It is official. Let me get up the bracket real quick because that is now done and confirmed as well. Kobe, you will have one final chance to try and beat your own score at the final, but it’s going to be What do you mean one final chance? I didn’t know where where you were going with that. No, one I do have the two I do have two of the highest scores though. So, well, you do you draw with David on the 22. That is true. Now, the bonus questions, the penalty questions, they are ready for the final by the way, and they are really, really difficult. Uh, so you and David next week are going to be hoping that that doesn’t go to penalties, but we hope you guys enjoyed. Well done to Kobe. Thank you to Drizzy. And well done for getting runner up in the semifinals. I mean, May 18th, it’s the day before Archie’s birthday. May 18th will be the final. We will see you guys in two weeks. Of course, next week is Backlash, but we will also see you guys, same time, same place tomorrow for mailbag Monday where we will be answering the hot takes and questions which you guys send in. Make sure to send us some via our Instagram stories. I’m about to put it up right now or Instagram broadcast channel as well. Shard hopes both Kobe and David lose in the final. I mean, we basically booked heel versus heel in this one. I mean, we’re going have to turn somebody face in the next two. There was too much. No, there was too much respect between Soul and David trying to be the face. It’s okay. I’m fact checking and I’m suggesting Everyone wants me to win though. That’s the thing. Do they? I’m the I’m the face. Comments, let us know. Who do you guys want to win? I don’t need to know the comments. I just need to know what happens when my private messages. Okay. What people say I’m the favorite People are giving him intel. They’re texting him all all the intel, all that stuff as well. Uh, and David, did you want to quickly come in to give your piece? Thumbs up if you do. I can see you. Don’t be humble now. You’ve been here the whole time. No, he’s in here. He’s in here. Maybe he can’t hear. He said, I don’t want to bring him in if he can’t. Here he is. David. Oh, Kobe, I love the confidence. It ends two week time. Well done, Drizzy. Well played. But it ends. You don’t know as much as you think you do. You don’t know as much as this quiz has told you you do. In two weeks time, in two weeks time, I put an end to it once and for all. Right. That would have been the perfect ending. Run. Fighting woods there. But Clark saying Kobe be the heel. Clark is for David. Fernando is neutral. Archie is rooting for Kobe. What’s going on there? Um, but there we are. Two weeks. May 18th. Thank you guys so much. Congratulations to Kobe. Congratulations to David for last week. The final is confirmed May 18th. Thank you guys. We will see you then.
